Notes/Misc Details
Notes
Covering the entire back of the stone is the following: We have parted - I am lonely; since we breathed our last farewell and I feel I loved thee only; more than mortal tongue can tell and I thought when we were parted; that I could at length forget years pass by and I lone-hearted; still am thinking of thee yet We have parted dearest loved one; yet I feel that thou art mine since the hour when first I met thee; I have worshipped at thy shrine and my thoughts are all about thee; In the silent hours of the night dearest loved one, then come to me; when the morning brings the light
